Lochness.

Ok! Holy Moly. So much has changed! I have so much to catch up on. So short form:
Thursday we went to go to Grupo 5, but it was sold out! So instead we decided to go dancing... and I fell off this alpaca bench and hurt my foot! But anyways, it seemed fine at the time but then I woke up after about a half an hour of sleeping with intense foot pain, and didn't sleep the rest of the night! So I ended up at the hospital the next morning for x-rays, where I spent four hours in a wheelchair with my host mom being the sweetest person in the world as she got the doctors to look at me and eventually they told me there was nothing wrong, just crazy pain and that I had to take ibuprofen and rub gel on it. So we went home, and to my extreme surprise I could swollow the ibuprofen! Kelsey coached me through it, and now it is my very best skill! I did miss a day of travelling, but all was fine.
Saturday we left for Machu Picchu... one of the wonders of the world! We got up and first went to Pisac, where I hung out with the cab driver while the girls (including Julie, Jess' grant supervisor) climbed the mountain... my old foot kept me from being able to. Then we went to Urubamba for lunch, where we ate at the muse 2 (our fav) and they had a special menu for volunteers! Then we took a crazy combi to OllentayTamboy where we saw a baby who looked just like our friend Camarote... and from OT we took the train to Aguas Caliente, where Machu Picchu is. At the train station, they had a wheelchair, and since my foot was killing and I had an excuse, I hopped in. We laughed a little, and then when it was time to board the train the girls ran to the train but these train guard people would not let me get our of the chair! They kept telling me to just wait... and then finally almost everyone had boarded and they carried me, in chair, to the train! And then they bumped the girls and I up a class, because they wanted us to be comfortable! It was so funny! Since we got to AC at night, we didn't really see anything, and just went straight to bed.
Sunday we got up at 4 to catch the 5:30 bus to Machu Picchu, because it gets really full really early. So we stood in line in the pitch dark with about 70 other tourists, waiting for our bus up the mountain. When we got there, the sun was just comming up, and we climbed about a gazillion steps (painfully!) until finally we were looking over the crazy Inca ruin town! It was so insane! It's like, an entire village, preserved. So crazy. Anyways, the girls went off to climb WaynaPicchu, but I couldn't really with my foot so I checked out the village at my own pace then sat down for a little while near the gardens, where I heard about 12 tours stop and heard about 12 different explenations... one tourist asked 'are there any avacado plants here?', to which her guide answered 'no'. The next guide came along with his group and said 'and here is the avocado tree'... haha! It makes you wonder how much these guides make up! Anyways, we spent the rest of the day checking out Machu and AC, then trained home, where we had some crazy conversations with an American man who had seen more of Canada than I have, and was once pulled over by a mountie in the Yukon!
Monday we volunteered at the clinic in the morning, I cannot wait until I have sufficient time to tell you all about those kids. Ask me about Roger. You will laugh. After the clinic, we had parade prep! My foot was still sore, but I was determined to dance, so Marita gave us huge yarn braids and we threw on our rediculously short skirts and puffed sleeves, and got ready for the parade! It was so fun, and even though I wanted to cut my foot off by the end of it, it was an unreal experience! After, we went to Camarotes house for a traditional Peruvian after party, haha.
Tuesday was a holiday, their version of Canada day. But that night we had a kind of 'closing ceremony' with Jorge, and got our volunteer certificates and then went out for pizza. After pizza we met our friends in the plaza, and Jorge, Beth, Monique, Julian, Kelsey, Jess, Brian, Fab, Camarote, Celine and I went to celebrate Cusco day, before burying some keys.
Wednesday was our big finish up day. First, we volunteered in the clinic for the last time! So crazy! Then we had tree planting in Chocco, so we picked up our trees then went to the community and planted for a couple of hours. The kids were so cute, they all had their picks and buckets and we just going at it! Then that night, we had our final meeting with the adolescents and the photography group. Seeing their pictures was unreal, they were so good! And their albums were amazing. Finally, we went home for our last supper with Jess, but had to run off to catch a night bus to Puno.
Thursday we arrived in Puno at about 4am, and got a hostal for two hours before our 7am tour of Lake Titikaka. We saw floating islands, and hiked up island Tequile. The floating islands were the best part though, they are man made and the people who live on them are so crazy! But the weirdest part is, because of the humidity and unstability of the ground, they are super susceptible to arthritis and their life expectancy is under 50. Finally, we caught the night bus home (coldest thing of my life. At first, people kept offering us blankets and coats and we were like 'they are so weird!' ... joke was on us though!) and got back to Cusco at about 5am.
Friday was wrap up day. We spent a lot of time at the market, buying our final souvernirs, and then had a laid back supper with the family before taking our last family pictures. :( I cannot believe how fast this was all ending!
This morning we had our last breakfast with Celine, and then said goodbye as she left for the jungle, and we left for a Spanish evaluation with Jorge. We are now at a low Advanced level of Spanish! When we got to Cusco, we were high Intermediate, so we got a bit better, which is awesome! After that, we finished packing, had a quick lunch, then had to go to the airport!! IT was so funny, we got in the cab after saying our goodbyes and Kelsey and I just looked at each other and started bawling! It is so weird to be gone... it really felt like home there for that month!
So now we are back in Lima, spending a few nights at the volunteer house. It's nice to be back, but I feel like I left half my heart in Cusco! We had so many good times there... but who knows, maybe we'll be back someday!

Por Favorcito

Yikes!
I have a lot to catch up on it seems, but the internet has been down here for a couple of days so updating has been tough!Ok, so last time I wrote was thursday, a week ago today. I´m not sure what I wrote about thursday, but what I can say is that we had our environment class in the morning, which went really well, and our photography class at night, which also went well! After photography, we went to the plaza to meet Tessa, a volunteer from April who´s term crossed into ours, so we spent the first week together. anyways, she was in Cusco for a bit so we met up and went to a little cafe in the plaza adn then to Mama Africa, where we met 5 other Canadians! Who all just graduated from Dal! How crazy is that?Friday we went to the airport at 1:00 to pick up Lupe... I´m not sure if I wrote about it or not, but Lupe has never seen cusco and she´s from Peru, so that´s a pretty big deal, but she just couldn´t aford it, so the five of us and Katie put some money together to buy her a ticket, and last weekend she came down! We hung out with her during the day, and at night Mel hung out with her while we were supposed to go to a play with our Peruvian friends. Unfortunately Alex had other plans. Alex is what we named Jess´parasite...friday night she got really sick and had to go to a clinic, where they found out she had a little parasite, which meant no sugar for the next three days while they worked him out of her system. So instead of the play, we went to a little cafe Kent had recommended called The Muse, and it was awesome! We got HUGE juices that tasted like heaven and the beat cheapest food ever. It was wonderful really!Saturday was the city tour, so the four of us, Mel, and Lupe hopped on a bus that took us on a 5 hour tour of the city, seeing many sights but having the worst tour guide of life! His moto was ´no time for fun´... every sight he rushed us for no reason! hahaha but we had a great time because together, we are a little crazy and therefore always fun. However, being not a fan of fun, the tourguide seemed to take an immediate disliking to us, haha.
Sunday morning Celine, Kels and I got up at 4:30 to bring Lupe to the train station so she could get to Machu Picchu, and practiced our dance moves while she waited in line. After that, I went back to sleep until church at 7:30, and then came back to the house to meet our Peruvian friends Brian and Fabricio who were taking us to Tipon, an irrigation ruin-y cite outside the city. This was much better than our tour with the crazy man the day before, and a really beautiful place. After Tipon, we went out for cuy. If you don´t know what cuy is, it´s the Peruvian specialty... guinea pig. So we went to this crazy outdor place where a woman threw a guinea pig in a furnace, cut off it´s head, andserved it to us. FEET STILL ON! It was nuts! But anyways, we tried it and it tasted slightly like chicken. I know people always say that, but this time it was true! But very weird, so I could only eat a little bit. After that we went back to the house, and since it was father´s day there was a big barbeque outside, which was awesome! So basically we just ate and played jenga haha. HOWEVER when everyone was eating, the radio was on in the background, and Celine and I had been trying to think of a certain Brian Adam´s song allllll day and it was driving us NUTS and all of a sudden it came on the radio in Spanish! So, as a reflex, I yelled CELINE!!!! and everyone stopped and looked at me and Kels couldn´t stop laughing and I just got really quiet hahaha. That night, the six of us (Kels, Celine, Jess, Brian, Fab, and I) went back to the Muse and played pictionary.
Monday. We volunteered at St. Juan again in the morning, then had Spanish lesson with Jorge at a cafe down the road from our house. That night we had intense dance lesson with Marcela´s whole group, because the parade was only a week away! So we practiced the night away.
Tuesday we went into Chocco for our community clean up day, and at first there were only three kids there! So we were a little nervous, but by the end there was probably 20! We cleaned and cleaned and then washed up and then came home for supper before heading back in for our photography project. The youth had finished their biographies, and were so cute about them! I love them! Finally, we came back home for more dance lessons.
Wednesday we got up and went to the clinic, and it was finally nice enough to take the kids outside! It was so cute, we had bubbles and they were fascinated. After clinic, we came home for lunch and then were supposed to go into Chocco to plant trees... but we got a phone call from Jorge saying that they were having administrative problems with the government and we couldn´t get the trees yet! So we had to move that to next week, and instead went to check out a little market in downtown Cusco. We had some celebratory ice cream, because Alex was finally gone as well! That night we had more dance lessons, and we all feel pretty ready for the parade... it´s going to be so crazy! Angel always says we´ll be the spectacle of the parade, because no white people have ever done it in Peruvian dress before.
This morning we got up and planned our environment class... we were reviewing the four R´s and sorting, and then teaching about the life cycle of a tree haha. After our lesson at the school (which was crazy, the teacher just was like ´ok, i´m going home... the class is yours´... and the director finally came around to us!) we came home for lunch and did lauuuundry. Tonight, we are meeting with the youth again to collect their cameras, and then going with our Peruvian friends to the GRUPO 5 concert! HAHAHA! They are the biggest Peruvian band, and sing just about every song on the radio, so we know them half well. Anyways, the concert is only 10 soles (about 4 dollars) so we are definately going! I´ll let you know how it turns out...

Anyways, we´re square now, and I´ll try to update faster next time!

Feliz Navidad

Ok, it has been a week, and so I will try my best to update thoroughly but quickly!
Thursday and friday we did more orientation and planning with Jorge, and friday night we played football with a couple of Jorge´s friends... very fun!
Saturday we slept in a little, and then went on a mountain hike in chocco, organized by previous Hampy volunteers. We seriously hiked for 4 hours! But it was beautiful, mountains, river, etc. Then in the night Marcela (our host sister) and her friends took us out to a little discoteca called Muki (ketchwan for troll), and we just danced the night away haha. Very fun.
Sunday among other things we played football with a few of Marcela´s friends (it was girls against guys, and we won! and I got the first goal! heck yes!), then basketball, then in the night we had more dance lessons. We´re getting pretty decent!
Monday morning we met with the municipal government to talk about our environment project, and got 50 trees donated for planting! It was also our first official volunteer day, and we taught English to all of the kids in the school. It went awesome, and then loved it, but the director cancelled the class! We were so mad! Because he´s just really stubborn and traditional and afraid of change, and by traditional I mean old fashioned... and by old fashioned I mean the kids are not allowed to talk in his class, and we saw him hit one of them on the side with a meter stick, but there was nothing we could do about it. And now we can´t go back in his class, so we were just really frustrated. I probably made that sound worse than it is, but I just do not love that profesor/director man. However, the other teacher is awesome, it´s just too bad that he has to work under the other man´s direction.
In the afternoon we stopped by a clinic for kids with disabilities that volunteer aborad works with and decided to work there monday and wednesday mornings (since we don´t have English anymore). It was a beautiful clinic, but they are extremly understaffed.
Tuesday we met with a recycling plant, and got some garbage cans and bags donated, spent the day planning, and had dance lessons before supper. After supper we had our first meeting with the youth of Chocco regarding our photo project, and it went awesome. They seem like a great group, and we were pumped to see Juanamaria out!
Wednesday we went to the clinic from 9-1, and it was awesome! We just went into a room with about 12 kids all under 4 in wheelchairs, and spent 3 hours playing with them! They were adorable, none could really talk and only one could walk, but they had the hugest smiles and were so fun! One kid that I was playing with did not seem content with anything, and no toy would please him. So finally I just picked up a little pump that was on the floor to blow up beach balls and started pumping air in his face, and he died laughing! Suddenly I was sorrounded by kids who wanted to have air blown in the faces, it was so funny! After playing, we took them out and fed them, which was a little harder because they did not always want to eat, but still fun. After the clinic we went to the Plaza and planned our environment class for tomorrow, then came back and got a gazillion environment crafts ready haha. These kids are going to love the environment, I´m telling you!
Anyways, I believe that is all, and I am very tired (you can probably tell by my writing) sO I better get going!

Quick Update...

Hola!
I have computer for about 10 minutes so I´m going to do a quick quick update, because I´m not sure when I´ll get to again!
Yesterday, we went back to Chocco and visited a family in their house. Honestly, it was like going back in time... their stove was made of rock... they put giant sticks of wood under a rock with a hole in the top and light them on fire, and that is their stove. There were guinea pigs running all over the room, the clay room with no chair, no table, and a few holes in the walls (literally) for shelves. It was crazy... and the craziest part is that the family who lived there consisted of a twenty year old mom, a twenty three year old dad, and their 8 month year old baby. But honestly, the mom was the nicest (she made us lunch!), happiest, most optimistic person I have ever met.
The school was crazy too, and the kids have so much energy! They loved trying on our sunglasses, and doing our hair haha. On the way back to Cusco, a few of them hopped in the taxi with us! They were so sweet, and kept hugging us and just non-stop smiles.
We figured out what we are going to do here... we´re planning a conservation program in the schools, where we teach them the importance of not littering (their land is beautiful, but they litter like crazy, which is hard because they´re trying to attract tourists), as well as planting trees (they use wood for everything, and so cut trees down all the time, but never re-plant them)... we will also be teaching the children a little English (which will help them get jobs in the future, as well as help with tourism), and are planning a photo project with the youth. It´s comming along really good, and we´re all super pumped. It may not sound like much, but I´ll explain it better when I´m back in Canada!

As for family life, Marcela taught us to dance last night! So fun! And today we went to a little cafe that had the BEST juice and desserts, but they gave us complementary candies that tasted like fish. So we wanted to be polite but could not force them down... so when they weren´t looking I shoved them in my camera case and they didn´t know any better haha...
Anyways, that´s all for now but I will do my best to write as often as possible!

I May be a Professional Dancer...

Hi.
I´m living in the Andes.
How cool is that?!
So we arrived in Cusco on Saturday, at around 12 noon... we didn´t get to sit together on the plane, but it was fine because I ended up beside these people from Transilvania (they know Dracula) who are living in New York, and were very nice. The flight was short, but beautiful, because we were flying over snow capped mountains. When we got to Cusco, our host parents met us and drove us to their beautiful house. They run kind of a hostal from their home, so we are staying in rooms similar to those at Belcourt, and the four of us (Kelsey, Celine, Jess and I are all with the same host family) share a bathroom with two showers.
The family is unreal, and super close. Our parents are Angel and Marita, and they have three kids... Angela and Marcela are both married and live out of the house, but visit everyday and usually eat with us (Marcela has a little son named Marcelo, he´s less than two are soooooooooo cute and well behaved. He´s hilarious!) Juan Carlos is 24 and still lives at home, but is out a lot. They are all super nice though... Marcela actually has a dance group that I believe she does choreography for, and they were in a parade yesterday... and so were we! They invited us to dance with then in the parade! haha it must have looked so funny, they were all in full costume and we were four white girls in street clothes doing our best to hop along. It was pretty cute haha. But we felt pretty cool, because after we were invited to their celebrations (besically a dance party with the marching band playing!) and once again we were the only white people. Also, Kels and I went to a tiny little church yesterday morning, but it was really nice because they had no choir, but everyone in the congragation sang at the top of their lungs! And it was so full that there weren´t enough seats for everyone, even though it was 7:30 in the morning, and who likes getting up at 7:30? haha.
Today we started our volunteer placements... or at least orientation. We´re working with a group called Hampy, which is Keschwan (native Peruvian language) for ´help´. Originally, we planned on doing a medical placement in a hospital, but the more we learned about Hampy the more we wanted to work with them. It´s a tiny tiny organization run by a man named Jorge, who is perhaps the nicest most organized person on the planet. We met with him yesterday, and today we met at his office (we´re all doing Hampy, and maybe a small clinic in Cusco if we have spare time) and we evaluated our Spanish (we are high intermediate! alright!) and then talked to us a lot about the area where they work. It´s in a small village called Choco, and is in extreme poverty. We drove out at around 11, and were shocked. It´s only 10 minutes outside of the centre of cusco, but might as well be on the other side of the world. There´s so much poverty... there are women everywhere wearing an almost uniform, that consists of a rimmed hat, a knee length skirt, a sweater, thick white tights, and a colourful wrap on their backs that they use to carry anything... sometimes bamboo, sometimes their babies. There are wild farm animals everywhere... sheep, cows, bulls, roosters, pigs. the houses are very simple, with no hygeinical services (no toilets or running water)... all built out of wood or stone. There is only one school, with two classrooms... one for kids aged 6-8, and one for 9-11... after 11, the kids either work or continue with school, but mostly work because the only school is in Cusco and they either have to walk (which would take about 45 minutes) or get a cab, as public transport doesn´t come out to Choco, and as you can imagine not many of them can aford a cab, if any. So after 11 years old, school is a luxury most of them can´t afford. The kids however, we adorable, and so excited to see us! They sang for us and kissed us on the cheek (that´s how everyone greets you here... a hug and a kiss on the cheek), and were amazing.
Another interesting thing about Choco, and it´s sister town (that is pretty much the exact same) Kuchuya, is that volunteers come in all the time but don´t really know what they´re doing... that´s what´s so good about Hampy, we get to know the people, and them work with them, not for them. Jess describes it as á hand up, not a hand out´. Jorge showed us show of the stuff that other volunteer groups made, without really knowing the people... such as a medical centre that is brand new, but doesn´t get used because it was built without any knowledge of the people´s needs, and therefore is just a big empty building. There´s also a brand new bridge that sits there so no reason, because only one person in the whole village has a car. don´t get me wrong, the people who donated those things had the best of intentions and the best of hearts I am sure, but just not a sufficient knowledge of the community and their needs... for example, the kindergarten has no electricity, and fixing that problem would be much more helpful than building a bridge. That´s what I like about Hampy... Jorge really knows the people, and is going to make sure that what we do will really help them in the long run. As for what we will be doing, we have a week of orientation and comunity visits to decide, but I´m really looking forward to it.

the weather here is insane... up until about 10 am it´s cold... from 10 to 4 it is desert hot, and then cools down and by 8 you need a jacket and mitts. Basically the sun provides a lot of heat, but when the sun sleeps it gets coooold! But it´s really beautiful, the sky is so blue and everywhere you look there are mountains, most of them have little houses built all the way up! It´s so nice, not like anywhere I´ve ever been. But the altitude had taken it´s toll on us! Taking stairs too fast leaves us short of breath... we feel like the most out of shape people on the planet! Today we climbed about 20 stairs in Choco and we all gasping for breath at the top! So we´re definately pacing ourselves. Anyways, I better go because I´m at an internet cafe and don´t want to pay a lot haha!
ciao!

El Ultima Dia En Lima...

Hola!
Wow, it´s crazy, but today is our last full day in Lima! We leave for Cusco tomorrow, and I think it´s safe ot say that everyone is suuuper excited, and a little sad! But first, a recap of the week:
It´s a little jumbled in my head when we did what up until wednesday but some time between monday and wednesday we watched Indiana Jones (Kent had a burned copy of the new one, and we were pumped because it takes place in Peru... but it was NOT good.) We did a little Cindy, learned a little Spanish, and planned our Machu Picchu trip! Also, we had a night where Kels and I walked to the grocery store with out sunglasses on at night and bought some ice cream, which we brought back to the house and all of us got on the floor and ate it out of the carton.
Wednesday we had a lot of prep to do, because thursday was our communal birthday. Basically, we wanted to have a little celebration with everyone (Kent and Ana Maria, Lupe our chef, and Roasio our teacher) before leaving, and we wanted it to have a theme. So the theme was birthday, and as soon as we woke up thursday morning we were saying happy birthday to everyone! (Except it was really Feliz cumpleaños!) Anyways, we did a little prep wednesday night, and it was crazy because it is NOT easy finding cake mix etc. in a Peruvian grocery store (luckily we came across a British man who was very nice and helped us out. He was pumped that we were Canadian!) That night we worked on decorations and presents (we made little personalized books for all our teachers/coordinators, etc), and planned on baking a cake, but it was a gas stove and we were out of propane, so the cake had to wait!
Thursday we got up and greeted everyone with ´Feliz Cumpleaños´! We had Spanish in the morning, and spent the rest of the day baking and finalizing all of our plans. People came over at 7, and by people I mean Ana Maria, Kent, Katie, Lupe and her son Antony, and Rosario and her friend Roberto. It was so fun! We played pin the tail on the llama, ate a Canadian flag cake, blew out candles, sang, danced, played celtic music, it was so fun! AND before the party we had a conversation with Lupe, which means our Spanish is getting pretty decent.
This morning was our LAST Spanish class... which was crazy. And then we had our last lunch. And then we packed for our morning flight to Cusco... it is so crazy! I am reaaaally excited about going, because I´m sure it´s going to be unreal, but like I said earlier a little sad to go! I guess we just got really confortable here ... I love the house, know the city, and feel like family with the Volunteer Abroad staff. But this was only chapter one, haha, so we are off tomorrow to do what we came here to do, which I am extremely pumped about!
Two previous volunteers stopped by earlier this week, Angela and Austin. They travelled for two months after their placement and we just heading home to Canada this week, so they stopped by to say bye before heading home. It was cool, because they had worked at the same place where we are headed, and lived with the same host family, and loved it! So that was good to hear.
Anyways, I better finish packing, but I put some birthday photos up so be sure to check them out!
Hasta Tomorrow!

Hasta Tomorrow

That is the cutest little thing that our chef/housekeeper Lupe says... she´s trying to learn English and knows we´re learning Spanish so whenever she goes home for the day she always says ´hasta tomorrow´. She´s wonderful!
I believe I left of at thursday... so thursday we had Spanish in the afternoon, which means 2-6... I don´t like that as much, I find it passes by much faster in the morning, but fair is fair so we spent the morning doing homework outside, it was a really beautiful day! After Spanish, Celine took us to this little cafe about 15 minutes from our house that Kent showed her, and we got coffee, desserts, and studied Spanish (we had an exam the next morning). It was a really cool cafe, but typical Peruvian in the way that our bill was wrong. It´s always wrong! And they always put everyone together... once we asked for separate bills and it was a nightmare, every single one of our bills came out wrong, so we learned from our mistake. Oh, and also, you can´t ask them to make substitutions or anything here, because they will get confused... like this morning Jess asked for no meat and an extra egg with her breakfast... and she got toast, one egg, bacon, and sausage! Anyways, after we got home from the restaurant we basically just kept studying, but got a little creative about it. We played charades to learn cleaning supplies, and clothing items. It was hilarious! But the funniest part was, everytime Celine would get up to act, one of us (usually Jess) would guess what she was going to do before she even started! Three times in a row we guessed with one guess what she was going to act out (dress, umbilical cord, then eyebrows) before she made a move. It was crazy!
Friday was our exam, and they are always oral so it was fine... plus we had studied like monkeys the night before. After Spanish, we all took a little nap, because we had stayed up late playing Spanish Charades and had to get up early for our morning class... so we slept until about 4 when we all got ready to do a little Cindy. I´m not sure if I wrote about Cindy yet... but basically it´s a Cindy Crawford excercise routine that is really fun/hard/great to do, but we think it´s hilarious because a)it´s Cindy Crawford, and b) Celine is in love with her. Seriously, within the first two days probably she had already confessed that Cindy Crawford was her hero! She loves her. So it´s kind of the house inside joke, but her excercizes are actually great! After Cindy we had supper, then got ready to go out... since it is our last weekend here we decided to check out the Peruvian nightlife, and it was crazy! One guy actually came up to me and asked me if I wanted a child (I said no). And nothing closes here until about 6am! It´s so weird. But it was a fun night, and we actually got to practice our Spanish a lot!
This morning we got to sleep in, for probably the first time ever. We slept until about 11:30, and then went out for a team breakfast (and by team I meant Kelsey, Celine, Jess, Kent, Katie, and I)... then we came back and I decided to go for a little walk to someplace I had never been before. I walked in the opposite direction that we usually go, and discovered a little adoration chapel! It was so cute, and there was only me and and old man there, and he was the cutest in the world and always smiled at me haha. It was really nice, and after I left I just bought a popsicle and went for a walk down by the water... it was a beeeeautiful day today, so it was so nice! And there were families playing soccer, and kids with crazy hats, I loved it!
Anyways, I´m back now and writing a little blog... and thinking about how one week from now I will be in Cusco! The trip is just about half over! It´s insane! But I am so ready to go to Cusco, this month was awesome but next month is really the reason I´m here, so I´m really excited. I think all of the girls are.
Anyways, I think Í´m going to stop here... but have a great day and perhaps hasta tomorrow!
